Volunteer at Sinai – Make a Difference!

LifeBridge Health’s mission of providing high quality, compassionate health care to the people of Central Maryland every day of the year. But we can’t do it alone.

At Sinai, Northwest and Carroll hospitals, along with Levindale, we depend on our dedicated volunteers to change a patient’s day with a smile or a visit; help visitors find their way through a confusing hospital; and aid our staff with administrative tasks that keep the hospital running.

The benefits of volunteering include:

Sharing your skills, or learning new ones

Connecting with people

Finding a sense of purpose

Improving your health from staying active

Increasing your happiness
